Taxidermy: Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus), modern, captive bred, (Necrosyrtes monachus), Taxidermy: Hooded Vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus), modern, captive bred, a full-mount adult looking straight ahead, stood perched upon a simulated rock, overall height 56.5cm. This species of vulture has been uplisted from its previous IUCN status of endangered to critically endangered, since the species is going through a very steep decline in population, owing to various factors including poisoning, hunting, habitat loss and degradation of habitat. Hunting is the most well-known threat to the species; however, poisoning has been shown to have the highest impact on the population. Poisoning of the species has been both unintentional and intentional, with unintentional poisoning being caused through the poisoning of other animals which the species feeds on. Hunting on the other hand is caused by vultures being used by people in traditional medicine and cultural beliefs and as a food source, particularly in West and southern Africa Provenance: The Property of an American Collector CITES Annex B, Appendix II Not for sale to buyers outside the UK
